Scientists from the University of Maryland and Towson University announced their development of an invisibility cloak array. They have crammed 25,000 tiny “invisibility cloaks” onto a gold sheet, which itself only measures 25 mm per side, resulting a biochip array that could allow them to identify biological materials. The researchers began with a commercially-available micro-lens […]

A new type of durable, environmentally-benign blue pigment discovered at Oregon State University has also been found to have unusual characteristics in reflecting heat – it’s a “cool blue” compound that could become important in new approaches to saving energy in buildings.

Individual homes and entire neighborhoods could be powered with a new, small-scale solid oxide fuel cell system that achieves up to 57 percent efficiency, significantly higher than the 30 to 50 percent efficiencies previously reported for other solid oxide fuel cell systems of its size, according to a study published in this month’s issue of […]

The graphic shows a matter wave hitting a Schrodinger’s hat. The wave inside the container is magnified. Outside, the energy waves wrap as if they had never encountered any obstacle. (Gunther Uhlmann/University of Washington) A new system has been theorized by an international team of mathematicians that could conceal matter in the form of energy […]

University staff and faculty, along with the help of the local community, contributed to the collection of 220 tons of electronic waste during the fifth annual e-waste recycling event earlier this month.

The aircraft as invention had a greatest impact in connecting people and shortening long distances between them. In terms of improvement remains enough to do and following this idea, a team of US designers developed a better solution for flying their Synergy aircraft. John McGinnis, the lead designer claim that Synergy aircraft has more room […]

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes riddled with defects and impurities on the outside could replace some of the expensive platinum catalysts used in fuel cells and metal-air batteries, according to scientists at Stanford University.

You Yin Ting, a well known industrial designer from Hong Kong delighted us with a rocking chair concept used for urban mobility, called oRo. This small human powered vehicle offers a zero emission, eco friendly, cost effective and practical solution to the urban mobility. The human powered vehicle runs on two wheels which can be […]

A biofuel plant designed to produce sustainable cooking fuels was opened in Dondo, Mozambique as the world’s first. The biofuel plant called CleanStar Mozambique (CSM) is a cornerstone of a multi tiered venture which will buy cassava from local farmers and refine it into ethanol. Then the ethanol will be distributed as cooking fuel in […]
